Subject: [PATCH -next v2 0/2] perf stat: Support inherit events for bperf

Hi,

bperf (perf-stat --bpf-counter) has not supported inherit events
during fork() since it was first introduced.

This patch series tries to add this support by:
 1) adding two new bpf programs to monitor task lifecycle;
 2) recording new tasks in the filter map dynamically;
 3) reusing `accum_key` of parent task for new tasks.

Thanks,
Tengda


Changelog:
---------
v2: (Address comments from Namhyung)
 * Remove the unused init_filter_entries in follower bpf, declare
   a global filter_entry_count in bpf_counter instead
 * Attach on_newtask and on_exittask progs only if the filter type
   is either PID or TGID

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240904123103.732507-1-wutengda@huaweicloud.com/
